Meet our founder

Hi, I’m Jess

A mum of two, passionate about fashion, and dedicated to fitness. Though I often prefer to hide in the background and keep things private, I'm stepping into the spotlight to introduce myself and share my journey.

I started this side hustle because, like so many of us, I’d buy a beautiful dress, wear it once, and let it gather dust in my wardrobe… such a waste, right!? What began with just a few designer dresses has rapidly expanded into a curated collection of over 100 pieces - and counting!

My supportive, sports-obsessed husband may not get paid, but he’s definitely my behind-the-scenes helper and biggest cheerleader! He’s not exactly a fashion expert, but since the beginning of the year, he’s gained a lot of insight about dresses and designers…and I think he secretly loves it!

I’m also a qualified personal trainer, former small business owner, early riser, and proud American Bully Mumma — so don’t be surprised if Mason greets you at your try-on appointment!

By day, I work within an administrative/payroll position — and by night (and early mornings!), I pour my heart into this side hustle. I pride myself on quality over quantity. Every piece in the collection is carefully chosen, and with your support, I’ll continue to grow and add more dresses I can share with you all.

The most rewarding part of my journey is connecting with incredible women from all walks of life. It brings me immense joy to help them feel confident and beautiful, offering the opportunity to wear something extraordinary they might not have considered before.

Thanks for being here and supporting this dream.
